well..what have ya been feeding him? a few days? does that mean more than 2? If what the others suggested is NOT going on..I'd suggest taking a poop specimen into the vets...cheaper...send just the brn/green stuff (no urates, no bathwater or pee) ...put it in a ziplock baggie and refrigerate..must be within 24 hrs fresh...Id say something (husbandry change either got too cold or too hot)...allowed these little bugs to flourish inside him...parasites..protozoa of some type. Take the poopie...& drop it off at the vets...they'll tell ya whats going on and lets take it from there. *this is only if what the other people that posted is NOT the prob. Would help also if we knew what his diet consisted of and has there been any changes...ok Kate ;o) sorry I didn't post earlier....Im trying to respond to as many posts as I can cuz I got two days of double-shifts coming up and won't get a chance to chat iguana :o( Repost as soon as ya get a chance.
